Abstract (en)

A cleaning system (900) for an electric shaver having a shaving head generally includes a housing (902, 904) having an interior space (908) configured to retain cleaning fluid within the housing. The housing (902, 904) is further configured for supporting the shaver in a generally upright orientation with the shaving head disposed at least in part within the interior space (908) of the housing. A displacement apparatus (948) is disposed within the interior space (908) of the housing (902, 904) and is selectively positionable within the housing between a first position in which the cleaning fluid within the housing defines a lower fluid level relative to the shaving head to be cleaned, and a second position in which the cleaning fluid defines a higher fluid level relative to the shaving head such that at the higher fluid level at least a portion of the shaving head of the shaver is submerged in the cleaning fluid within the housing.
